364 WHOA. Watch this NOW: This is the "Tomb Guard." They DO NOT make mistakes. They DON'T change tradition. This is the military unit that spends hours measuring their uniforms & medals with a ruler to insure perfection. @SoberCDA So, explain this: More in post.....

@DarnelSugarfoo [twatter] To all the Military types out there;
What the heck is this all about?
The Tomb Guard just motioned with a lazy hand wave to the Commander-in-Chief to place the wreath himself??
Any logical explanation?
He misses something important at the end with the cannons. They're not firing 5 second intervals, they're actually firing in 9 second intervals which is exactly one more second than is allowed. (3 to 8 seconds are the intervals allowed)
Xiden had a 19 gun salute with 2/3 cannons and not the 21 gun salute with 3/4 cannons.
19 Gun salute (as I read online, I am not military) is for a FOREIGN Head of State or the active Vice President.
I get a bit doomy sometimes, but when i think of this event, it was done on purpose by our military and cannot be explained away as a fluke.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, anyone who is more familiar with this issue.
it was 21.
